Android phones have a lot in common with computers. They have a file system, support for keyboards and mice, advanced multitasking, and even a full-fledged desktop mode. One thing Android doesn’t have, however, is a native clipboard. Thankfully, Gboard can fix that.

I finally automated my messy downloads folder
I finally automated my messy downloads folder with these 3 “hidden” Windows features – howtogeek.com
For years, my Downloads folder was basically a dumping ground. Screenshots, random PDFs, driver installers, ZIP files I opened once and forgot about. They all landed there and never left.

Over time, it turns into a permanent archive of temporary files.

Most devices in my house run on Wi-Fi, and for years I told myself that was fine. It wasn’t fine—it just never failed badly enough to force the issue. Buffering I blamed on the streaming service. Smart home commands that went ignored I chalked up to the devices.

How to search with your voice in Google Chrome
To search with your voice in Google Chrome, go to google.com, click the microphone icon in the search bar, and speak your query. On a desktop, you may need to allow microphone permissions. On Android, tap the microphone in the Google app or widget. You can also use “Hey Google” if enabled in settings.
- On Desktop (Windows/Mac/Chromebook):
- Open Google.com in Chrome and click the microphone icon in the search bar.
- If prompted, click “Allow” to give the browser permission to use your microphone.
- Speak your search query.
- Note: If the microphone icon does not appear, ensure your browser settings allow microphone access under Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Microphone.
- On Android (Phone/Tablet):
- Open the Google app or the Google search widget on your home screen.
- Tap the microphone icon.
- Speak your search query.
- Troubleshooting:
- If voice search is not working, check that no other applications are using the microphone, or try an incognito window to rule out extension issues.
- Ensure your system-level permissions (in Windows/macOS Settings) allow Chrome to access the microphone.
For more advanced voice options, you can also use extensions like “Voice Search” from the Chrome Web Store, which allows searching across various engines.
